    Holy thread resurrection Batman!

    Here seems to be as good as anywhere. Don't shoot the messenger as the light was pretty crap but when I came past Carnforth the other weekend it appeared that the chassis of 34073 had regained a boiler.

    I would hazard a guess that the boiler from 34067 Tangmere has been placed onto the frames of 34073 which has donated it's boiler to 67?

    That was my though entirely, which rather puts paid to the comments in this thread that 34073's boiler was going on Bodmin - unless I suppose Bodmin is also imminent and has had a boiler swap?

    If anyone is passing in the light she is visible adjacent to the first building when you pass from the south, assuming no carriage stock in the way?

    I can't personally recall any news on Bodmin for some time and last time I was at Carnforth in 2017, she was tucked away from the rest, (carriage sheds??) so to speak.
